Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at the prestigious Horace Green School. When he discovers his straight-laced students’ hidden musical talent, he transforms them into a rock band to compete in the Battle of the Bands — all while keeping their secret from the school’s strict principal, Rosalie Mullins. This high-energy show is packed with comedy, heart, and a driving rock score. It offers fantastic opportunities for performers of all ages.
